I always find these videos both oddly fascinating and sad at the same time. To think at one time many years ago, these buildings were new, full of life, and many vacationers spent time at them. Obviously these were budget accommodations and they served a purpose, like many motels you'll find on 192 near WDW, who are now abandoned as well . It looks so creepy to see how these buildings were left the way they were and the businesses just bugged out and the employees just stopped what they were doing and told to leave. Does the local and state government plan to leave them like this?
I can't see why a local government can't convert some of these abandoned hotels to Homeless facilities, or a halfway facility to house the homeless who are there already. Also with the Housing crisis, why not do this for those who can't afford the high rental prices??? There has been a lot of Federal & state monies to do that!
Over time the buildings become so outdated that they cannot pass inspection codes. The owners do not want to invest money into what are often lower rent housing hotels operating as long term rentals. Thus they are shut down or forced to pay heavy fines. This is why you see so many original Holiday Inn's and Howard Johnson's that are abandoned. They are now upwards of 60 years old from when they were orginally built.
Not only is it a poor location, but there were 4 motels within a block of here competing for little business. Only one appears to still be open and has this lackluster description on Google Maps: "Unassuming motel offering unpretentious rooms with free Wi-Fi..."
@@whitelakeofficial I have a question for ya, I love to throw “underground” raves… you know of any good secluded spots that have a somewhat of a good open area… we can get the area clean as long as it’s not horrible horrible… actually underground would be nice or even like abandoned warehouses , golf courses, etc
No money in it. Offering free help has to be completely paid for by donations, grants, and charities. People need to be paid, resources need to be bought, buildings maintained in hundreds of different ways. It's really expensive and not as simple as "turning abandoned places into homeless shelters or affordable housing"
Love it!
Thanks Jake!
AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Great video. Awesome exploration 👍
Thank you!

12:20 Did the door close behind you? whoa, that was a close one. glad you are okay. good videos.
Yeah slammed behind me. Made sure to triple check I didn’t get locked in before I started recording. That was the walk in freezer. Creepy stuff
Great video really! 😉

Thanks!
I subscribed just because I saw this comment and agreed! Great videos !

I can’t believe that there is running water like that.
I couldn’t believe it either!
@@whitelakeofficial what I want to know is who is paying the water bill
What a complete waste

Still in pritty good shape for being abandoned in apperantly 00s
It was in very good condition until vandals. It’s in a very remote location
It's always a mystery why they went abandoned

@@whitelakeofficial I wouldn't give people the address at all but that just me
Why was it abandoned?
We don't exactly know! Easy to imagine that these motels just weren't doing well, they're out in the middle of nowhere
First One, abandoned for a very long time and taken over by nature, failed an Health and Safety check?
Why don't these places get tuned into homeless shelters or affordable housing??!?!?!?!?!?!
No money to be made when helping the poor.

They STILL haven't put these buildings out of their misery?
Nope. Surprisingly not. No evidence of them tearing them down either
Vhs is very old
I think homeless people do go inside and live here
